THE BEST COOKIE PS Meet Yesenia and Bryan Brodsky, the married couple started THE BEST COOKIE PS in January, 2020. They work great as a team — Yesenia is an accountant and Bryan is an entrepreneur who loves baking cookies. The couple have always pushed each other to pursue their dreams, and this has been an opportunity to work together on a shared vision. How it started. We started THE BEST COOKIE PS after an adventure to Yosemite National Park. In the general store’s checkout line, we bought a cookie that had more walnuts in it than we’d ever seen. It tasted so good, we couldn’t wait to come home and bake our own version of it. Turns out, the ones we made tasted way better than the one at Yosemite. We started to bake them for friends, family, and then the rest of the world — Boom. THE BEST COOKIE PS was born. The menu. Each box comes with 20 of our fresh baked 1 oz. cookies. We offer 3 different cookies: 1. THE ORIGINAL KILLER has tons of walnuts, and a few chocolate chips. It’s the cookie that started it all. If you’re deathly allergic to walnuts, this cookie will literally kill you. 2. THE SUGAR MONSTER 3. THE CHOCOLATE CHIP. The Mission. We just make plain and simple delicious cookies that your grandma would be pumped about. No preservatives.

Baked to order. We use organic eggs and real butter. There is something magical about when someone bites into one of THE ORIGINAL KILLER for the first time. Restaurant experience. I was raised in my family’s bagel store, Brodsky’s Bagels. It was the first bagel store in the Coachella Valley (originally called The Royal Bagel). I grew up helping run the cash register, and learning how the business worked. I have also been in the Palm Springs restaurant industry as a server and manager for 15 years. Now, I do consulting. Lots of food industry experience. The love. Cookies are like little pieces of edible love. They make you feel at home. They’re a comfort food. Cookies are there for you in the best of times and the worst of times. I love that cookies actually seem to have the ability to make people happy. Sending cookies to someone as a gift is like sending them a box of actual love. It’s the best. Seeing how pumped people get when they receive a big cookie delivery is one of the coolest things in the world.
